Bangladesh must be equipped to end Myanmar's aggression


Bangladesh must be equipped to end Myanmar's aggression

Where are those hard-nosed Bangladeshi officials who will do some straight talking with the Myanmar's regime? It did not have to reach a level where Bangladesh would be forced to host 1 million Rohingya refugees because another country with no ethics has decided to get rid of an ethnic minority to build a rabid Buddhist nationalist state. Myanmar has followed a process to profiteer from its genocidal violence. It cultivated relationships of greed with dishonest Westerners by showing them business prospects if they overlooked its savagery against the Rohingya people.
In particular, American and British establishments in their moral bankruptcy have found numerous excuses to engage with the rogue regime. Whether it was former U.S. President Barack Obama or British Prime Minister David Cameron, the dastardliness of those who talk big on democracy and human rights was visible in their dealings with Myanmar.


UAE committed an act of piracy in Somalia

UAE committed an act of piracy in Somalia

It has been a long-standing Western policy to keep Somalia impoverished and destabilized and they have found in the UAE a reliable agent to achieve their aims. The brazenness they have shown in pursuing the schemes of sowing chaos in East Africa is normally found among common outlaws. The UAE is working on a two-pronged policy in Somalia and neighboring countries. It is helping its Western allies to secure their neocolonial aims in the region while furiously advancing its own vital economic interests.

Maldives is no place for regional political shenanigans

Maldives is no place for regional political shenanigans

Not every place can be devoid of politics like Singapore or the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The Maldives has political parties that have sharp differences, but that is not an invitation to superpowers, regional powers and showoff powers to come to Male for non-holiday purposes. People in the Maldives are mature and culturally sophisticated enough to sort out their own matters. External knee-jerk reactions can only complicate matters. Certainly, this is no place for a Chinese-Indian rivalry.
